DART Stations of the Cross

If you live in Dallas and want to incorporate art into your Good Friday experience, consider participating in “DART Stations of the Cross.” Between Mockingbird and Westmoreland lie fourteen DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) rail stations along the red line. And CityGallery plans to use these stations for a citywide Good Friday observance. CityGallery is “an interdisciplinary group of artists, poets, philosophers, theologians, social activists and musicians that uses the city of Dallas as their gallery.” According to the CityGallery blog site, “DART Stations of the Cross explores Good Friday through meditation and mass transit. It is an opportunity to move through the final hours of Jesus’ life and enter into Jesus’ journey — living it, reflecting on it, and seeing how it impacts our life now.”

As a participant, you can either stay on the train or follow a guide to disembark at your leisure for an art experience. At one station, for example, you’ll find art that depicts the scene of Jesus stripped. There you can donate clothes to a nonprofit organization benefiting the needy.

You’ll find the DART Stations of the Cross mediation guide at www.dartstations.blogspot.com starting tomorrow (Wednesday). The event will be fully operational on Good Friday, April 10, between 4 and 8 p.m.
